Proverbs 12:15

Proverbs 12:15

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The fool's defining characteristic is self-certainty — they are always right in their own estimation, closed to outside perspective. Wisdom, by contrast, is self-aware enough to know its own limits and humble enough to receive counsel.

Memory phrase: Wise people seek advice.

Talk about it: Do you find it easy or hard to listen to advice? Why?

Prayer: God, help me listen to wise counsel, not just myself.
